Bedroom mood killers to avoid for great sex

If you thought that sexually anything goes, you couldn’t be more mistaken. Doing these five things in the bedroom is not okay, and will possibly have you spending the night on your own.

Talking like a 5 year old

Your man will definitely want to flee the bedroom if you talk like a child. Unless you’ve already done the deed and are basking in that post-coital glow, baby talk is a no-no. Even during this time, try to avoid it if you’ve known the guy only for a short time.

All giggle no wiggle

Do you giggle or talk too much when you are nervous? Giggling and chattering non-stop in bed can be a total buzzkill. Why are you in bed, naked as the day you were born? Surely not to tell him a funny story! Leave the giggly teenager out of the bedroom and show your man what a sex goddess you can really be.

Drinking like a fish

Alcohol can make you lower your inhibitions. But if you drink yourself into a stupor, it does nothing but kill your sex drive. Drinking too much before sex can impair your judgement, not to mention the nausea it causes, along with a whole host of other issues. Think about it, too much alcohol and your guy may just not be able to get an erection.

What, no foreplay?

Let’s skip the kissing—said no one ever. We cannot stress enough on how very important foreplay is in a relationship, or even a casual hook-up. You cannot go wrong here and it only helps in getting you nice and ready for the main show.

Same old, same old

If either of you start predicting what the other’s next move is going to be, it’s time you stepped up your game. Repeating the same positions every time you have sex is bound to get boring. After a while, you would rather just roll over and sleep off the horniness, than go through the same motions again.
